- Abstract
Using the annual statistics from 1990 to 2010, this paper applies the panel model to verify the effect of trade openness on carbon emission in the three regions. The study shows: considering the average personal income and the policy effect, in Eastern China, both foreign trade dependency and FDI dependency have negative effects on carbon emission, but the former one is not statistically significant; In Middle China, the foreign trade dependency has a positive effect on carbon emission, while FDI dependency has a negative effect,both effects are statistically significant. In Western China, the degree of trade openness have positive effects on carbon emission, but the results are not statistically significant.
